Go-ahead for Sherburn-in-Elmet homes

The planning inspectorate has granted permission for 106 houses to be developed by Persimmon and Redrow in the North Yorkshire town.

Located on land south of Bartlett View and Rochester Row, 20% of the homes will be affordable and transferred to a housing association.

Ranging from one- to four-bedroom properties, the homes will all have air source heat pumps, solar panels, and EV charging points.

Scott Waters, regional managing director at Persimmon, said: “We’re pleased that these plans for high-quality and sustainable new homes for local people have been approved.

“Residents will enjoy significant areas of green, public open spaces, and pedestrian links seamlessly connecting this new phase with the existing development.”

John Handley, managing director for Redrow Yorkshire, said: “Our latest development in Sherburn in Elmet will contribute much-needed high-quality housing in a district where there is currently a shortfall.

“Our Heritage Collection homes reflect the established character of earlier phases and will cater to a wide range of buyers, from growing families to downsizers.”
